"Where brilliance is good and madness is better..."
Helovia Info
Helovia opened in February 2012! We are an active fantasy equine RPG
Where once the world narrowed into naught but gray dust and desolation, the gods called for life. Wielding the elements of fire and light, dark and wind, earth and water, spark and time, they have created Helovia. The realm is set within the mythical globe of Loorien, a planet rich with all variety of creatures and blessed with all manner of magic. Originally populated by nomadic, tribal characters, they've since grown into massive empires saturated with culture and history. Separated into four distinct segments of Helovia, called "The Regions," each band of horse strong enough and capable enough, took up the power and responsibility of leadership. Unicorns, old, wise and mysterious, took to the north, hidden in forests of mists and shadows and rarely making themselves known beyond their cliffs of the World's Edge. Equines, vast, organized and militaristic, split into two, one group went north to the Windtossed Foothills and the other group went south to the Dragon's Throat. Pegasus remained nomadic, making their homes in various parts of The Wilds in a migratory manner. For many generations, the land was peaceful and calm, but peace was never the way of the gods. With a clash of argument, war and bloodshed massacred Helovia, and in the aftermath, the realm was eerily quiet. Now, as newcomers sweep into this land, they are met with the lingering bitterness of the gods and the struggle to reclaim what was lost. Nothing remains safe or certain while sorcerers and soldiers alike brood and bide their time for revenge, honor and glory.

Endless Night :: Dead Magic Plot ☼ - 6/22/13 - The gods of Helovia, in order to protect the world, have disappeared into the rift, leaving the world sunless, moonless and magic-less in their absence. Only the herdlands have a source of light, but lamp-trees with glowing leaves and branches sporadically line the popular roads and paths from place to place.
Doppleganger Plot ☼ - 6/20/13 - The God of Time is still struggling to close the rift though which the dopplegangers have come. He has requested that his brothers and sister assist in closing this hole, but without knowing why it opened, the task is proving difficult. Magic still remains faulty and hard to control, but the herdlands continue to be places of refuge for those who are fortunate enough to call these lands home.
ORANGEMOON cools off the lands with a a viscious force. Colder than normal, a sign of things to come during Frostfall, Helovia is bathed in a rich tropical lushness - albiet a cold one. The coastlines of the Dragon's Throat are pelted constantly by tidal waves, and the desert climate is humid but chilly. Ice begins to form early in the Aurora Basin leaving the winding trails slick and dangerous. The mists of the World's Edge coat everything in a glistening crystalline shine which encourages mould to grow everywhere. The Spectral Marsh is the only area which remains fertile, blissfully temperature and lush.

WEAVER, Corporal of the Aurora Basin, is a relatively recent addition to Helovia and has taken it by storm. Branded with the seal of Death on her chest, intrigue and interest follow both her past and present. Though she is assuredly beautiful, her sometimes sharp personality reveals that there is more to this uni-peg hybrid than meets the eye. Proving herself able on the battlefield in the Basin’s warrior ranks, we can’t wait to see her test her mettle against the looming Kaos happenings! Congratulations!

"Wisely spoken" the blood bay laughed at Kou's comment on the shade's skills in naming. Or lack of for that matter. d'Artagnan had been lucky enough to be close to Kou's location when he heard the familiar grunts of a mare giving birth. He emerged now and made his way around the spring to greet his new born Nao and growing daughter Aviya. It was a proud moment for the Nightshade, their legacy secured in the small hooves of his daughters and son, Mesec. The latter he hadn't seen for sometime. Dual eyes first laid on Aviya, she had grown with the horn that had poked him in the chest months ago was now longer and sharper. d'Artagnan sincerely hoped she didn't plan on poking him in the chest again, he might have more of a problem this time. A grey nose dipped down and he gently nipped her frosted black mane, a fond glint in his eyes. "So full of questions, my Aviya" it was almost a habit that had come over him, to place 'my' in front of those he held dear. It was rare however, as d'Artagnan only regarded his family as precious.
Next his attention turned to his new born and Kou. Gaze brimming with curiosity as he quickly noted the filly possessed remarkably more patience than himself. Even at this young stage. Finally up right, the little Nao did the most natural thing and sought her mother for food. d'Artagnan greeted Kou with a warm press of his nose to hers, eyes still on his buckskin child. She had a tail like none of her parents and a wild colouring about her that echoed both Kou and d'Artagnan yet held her own personal flare. The tell tale glass horns that marked her as a child of the Nightshade were tiny on her forehead, it seemed two were present in intriguing close proximity to each other. Her growth would be interesting indeed. He wondered for a moment, what she would grow up to be like. Would she become like Aviya? Attentive to learn with a personality so sadistic that even d'Artagnan was highly impressed. Or would she be more gentle with a fine mind, like his Nurse?
The shade dropped his head down to the filly then, lightly touching the fur upon her back, a greeting from her father. "Nao." Was all he said, his brusque voice riddled with wonder and affection. A great many things he wanted to say yet he didn't want to burden a mind so young, this was the first birth he had been present for. A bitter taste was left in his mouth as he remembered his time in the Throat, the reason he was taken away from his beloved Aviya's birthing. d'Artagnan shook the memory from his mind and concentrated on enjoying the moment, attention turning back to Kou and he let his time healing magic filter into the mare. Erasing all fatigue she may feel, so she may enjoy the moment without feeling tired. "I think I am destined to be surrounded by females" he commented with a low, comical voice.
